I guess my thinking about using one of the other libraries is that they may
be much farther along than we are and we could gain by leveraging their work
and focus on uPnP. I am thinking about full implementation of the spec,
testing, etc.
Perhaps we could change libmythpnp to be the glue between myth and their
framework instead of doing all of the uPnP heavy lifting ourselves.
